I just have to say..I hope the inactivity on this board doesn't carry over into the regular season.
After the time it took to get names and franchises selected, the time it is taking to do these drafts, we might still be doing this at the All-Star break.

Usually, with these types of drafts, ou don't see teams using the full 8 hrs. I try to send emails when I hop on just to make sure those people OTC know that they're up. I don't have access to all emails here though so I can't do it for everyone.

This is just like Christmas morning when you rush downstairs to open your presents and just when you get started your mom stops you and makes you make your bed and eat breakfast first. Then you just get going opening presents again and your dad stops you and makes you shovel the driveway.
I'M DONE SHOVELING THE DRIVEWAY, IT'S TIME TO OPEN THE PRESENTS!

Or your mother stops you and makes you put on the oversized pink bunny outfit your aunt made you.

Sometimes my internet doesn't work for a little while but that isn't a huge problem. The guy before me, his pick expired but I wish there was some sort of notice for me so I would know that I could go then. With no sort of post telling me to go ahead it looked as if no one realized his time had been up or everyone was just waiting for him to go whenever.

Angels GM, you need to change your name to Pirates GM. There is too much confusion between you and the other Angels guy.

With no sort of post telling me to go ahead it looked as if no one realized his time had been up or everyone was just waiting for him to go whenever. I've been hopping on every so often and I send out emails to those that I can to let them know when they're up and on deck, and I've been updating the big board. I can't do everyone though since some have their emails hidden and I can't see them. I have been putting when the picks expire though. So, if you are on deck and the clock expires on the pick before you, then you can pick. You don't have to wait for notice. Everyone has 8hrs to make their pick. The only time the clock isn't running is between 10pm-6am ET each night. Picks can be made then, but the clock isn't running and nobody will be skipped during those hours.

Can you believe I started this thread 12 days ago and we ARE STILL only in the 6th ROUND!!!!!

No I cannot believe it. I would've thought you were insane if you would have told me that we would average 1 round every 2.33 days. At this rate it will take us three more weeks to finish the major league draft plus the 5 round minor league draft. Painful.
I would like to ask everyone to please put in a little extra effort this weekend to try to pick up the pace if it is at all possible.
